United (H) Post Match Thread

[manimanc]

We never laid a glove on them. Poor throughout. Too many starting to believe their own hype. United got the head start they needed and it killed our team psychologically. Couple that with generally poor aimless play and we got what our performance deserved, nothing.

I'm not mentioning any particular player, but some seriously under par efforts from too many. We just always manage to make a mess of this fixture.

Never does us any harm though.
Top.

bloody hell, after that, i'm actually worried for the rest of the season. southampton is now huge!

Lol

Stunned how poor we were, awful game, pissed off for the season now.

 

[Claytop]

Frustrating, we should be 17 infront of these and over the hull but we’ve now got to be slightly careful we don’t do something stupid.

Just the 11 points then.

Utd lost it from 8 ahead with only 5 games left....further complacency from City, like we saw today, should not be acceptable

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

People are emotional.. but Souness just nailed it.. City played how they will always play and should not change as they will win almost all games playing that way as it took utd to be almost perfect to win. But City won’t care as they will win over the course of 9 months.

We need to keep it in perspective. One game that we lost. So what.. we move on.

not the first time, either. Last season they beat us three times out of four, but we still finished above them AND won the only game that mattered, on our way to a cup. This season, they've taken 4 points off us, but let's face it: we'll beat them to the league AND once again we beat them when it mattered in the semi final.

They've won a lot of battles over the last couple of years. But we keep winning the war, and that's fine with me.

Only saving grace today is the fact I wasn’t stood right next to this lot singing there fucking nursery rhymes goading us with 20 fucking times

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

No he’s not but equally some of the comments on here are utter shite, he has to play we need him back to his best and too do that he must have game time

Sure but if hes not performing and others are, they should start

On Pep that.....another of his infrequent but famous brain farts.

The team selection was wrong from the start,and im not convinced he understands what the Derby means.....you play your best players in your best 11.

Anyway.....on a positive,hopefully its treated as a wake up call for the CL.

I can’t be bothered reading the rest of this thread as this first post sums it up. Completely on the starting 11, picked by the manager. Why do we see this so often in games that matter? Ridiculous line ups in big European games or against that lot. He doesn’t understand this game at all. I and most blues of my vintage hate losing to them, he needs to respect that. All this bollocks about a rivalry with Liverpool is simply that. Fuming with that half arsed performance.
Jesus isn’t good enough either, just not the required quality.

 

[burning blue soul]

I would love to see Pep be bold when things aren't working. Make the decision to change the players that are not contributing.
Sterling and Kev should have been gone at half time. Bernardo and Foden come on and that game would have been a win.
Not sure what those 2 need to do to get a start.
